don't you just love big league chew?
i do.
I like tacky graphics.
I do love big league chew, although it seems much less popular and available these days. I wonder if that's a response to anti-tobacco campaigns...
I'm assuming, then, that you like my tacky graphics, Zane. I enjoy tacky graphics, too. I'm going to unleash a flood of them in the coming months... A tacky flood...
Now let's talk about stickers. Anyone?
Hey Dave, I can't remember if I asked you or not, but would you be interested in writing a music economics post for Lloyd Zeffler?
Yeah - you did, and I've often tried to think of interesting subjects, and so far have come up with nothing...
Any ideas?
This might not produce any spark whatsoever, but I was wondering what the value of one song should be? Also, what is the value of a song in a concert and how should the number of songs performed contribute to the ticket price?
Those are pretty interesting concepts, I'd say, and It's funny you mention 'em, because when I first started doing that Beatles post I did a long time ago, I was thinking a lot about the cost of inputs (recording/writing) compared to the value of the output (the song) and figured that if people stop buying CDs that we'd actually get a major change in music...
Which is dependent - in theory - on the value of individual songs.
But I couldn't get enough (valid) data...

How about this: Since data is the only thing keeping us from applying econometric techniques and learning cool crap, if you can find me a list of at least a few hundred concerts (or albums, etc) and corresponding data (like # of songs played & total ticket revenue)- in LIST form - then I bet we could find some interesting correlations...
Unfortunately it's not only hard to find this data, it's hard to make it workable and avoid a lot of other restrictions.
But if you can find the data - I will totally come up with some reasonably interesting stuff. Beyond that, though, it's all too anecdotal or too opinionated, I think...
But we'll see. You know where to find me - and I you - if either of us stumbles upon a good idea that doesn't require tons of data (or even one that does require it provided we can find its corresponding data.)
I know a fellow writer at antiMusic that is really into Billboard charts and the business of music. Maybe he has some insight. He is a Bon Jovi fan though, so who knows?
